I love my Race Red, has a hint of orange to it and the best part it's BRIGHT. I like bright colors.

My bright colored toys!

Maybe I should get a green one

The original Red Candy was way nicer. I don't think it's available any more though.
That being said, I hate red cars. I had a bright red Sunfire. Brings back bad memories.

I like my blue car :3

I have seen a couple driving around town and I really wish I had ordered mine with race red. I wasn't sure how it would look in person so I went the safe route (Sterling Gray). If only I could do it over again.

I actually test drove an ST with that color before deciding to buy the Fusion. It's nice but I wonder how would it hold up in the elements over time(UV fade,etc..).

Topic should be "Race Red - REALLY!" :)

I love the Race Red, because it is so bright. Stands out on the road and in parking lots. I also like that it is exclusive to the lower trim levels. There's no way I could afford a Ti, but having a colour that I love, that a Ti owner couldn't chose, makes me feel a little bit better about it. It's youthful, too. I'm only in my mid-20s, and a lot of the Focus drivers I see are middle-aged. None of them buy Race Red.

To be honest, though, I only really like Race Red on sedans. The hatch looks too much like a big tomato or something (no offense hatch drivers, you're still cool!)

That's what I have, looks like a normal red to me. I even thought of putting "Feuerwehr Flughafen Frankfurt-am-Main" stickers on the doors, but then decided not to.
